The verdict

Nova has Chris Brooks, 329th overall, RB, GB, Tier 7, -121 VORP, 41.9 projected PPR points, 3 PPR points per game. Current PPR ADP is not attached in this rankings run.

By Chris Hanna · updated Sep 7, 2026

Editorial preseason rankings are shown separately from directional model projections, VORP, and tiers.

The 2026 Role

Green Bay's September 2 report describes Brooks as the third-down back behind likely opening-week lead option MarShawn Lloyd. Kaleb Johnson is also part of the backfield discussion. Team source, checked September 7.

Our stored 2025 usage sample covers 17 games: 1.6 carries per game; 1 targets per game. These describe last season, not a promise of the same 2026 workload.

Our Draft Read

Our editorial board places Chris Brooks at RB81 in PPR. The separate directional season projection is 41.9 PPR points. The ranking is draft order, not a claim that this projection has been newly validated.

Brooks is a different bet from Lloyd: seek a receiving contribution rather than assuming identical access to early-down volume. That distinction makes reception scoring important.

What Moves His Value

The upside: Passing-down snaps turn into catches, and the offense keeps him involved often enough to create usable depth.

The downside: Third-down work is concentrated in protection rather than routes or targets, supplying little fantasy production.

Draft Question

What should change your decision on Chris Brooks?

Measure targets alongside pass-protection snaps. Being trusted on third down can keep a player on the field without making him a dependable PPR scorer.
